For those of you who don't know, the 26's, 27's, and 28's are different factions of the Numbers Gang, which is the most powerful gang in South African prisons. They're extremely violent and brutal, and they have their own legends and language associated with them. It's like a cult. If you go to prison in South Africa, you either join and then are forced to murder people, or you don't join and then get raped repeatedly.
So I watched the music video, and at the beginning Anies says that the 26's and 27's operate during the day, and the 28's operate at night. So Yolandi obviously wants to have sex with Anies, so I think when she asks if he's a 28, even though he said that he's not at the beginning of the video, she's just asking for sex.
Also, like I said, there's a lot of buttsex in South African prisons. Anies just got out of prison, so I think this is why he wants Yolandi's butt. This doesn't actually fit with the real actions of the gangs (as far as I know, the 26's and 27's don't allow men to have sex with each other), but maybe they're just making a weird joke and hoping people will look past that detail.
@RadkeMaiden The implication is he's lying and is actually a 28 - he says he's with the 26s and 27s but you can't be a member of more than one of the gangs.

Also, just curiously, is the word "xha" Xhosa?
